im gonna get an exhaust soon because on my 98 cav it just has a glass pack/tip which is put on sh*ty because all spot welded on i was thinking about cutting it off or w/e and either i could just buy a muffler or a whole new exhaust ....i don't like the pissed off weed eater sound i want a deeper smooth tone so i thought i could either go with borla or magnaflow so idk what to get any suggestion??

it doesn't really matter which muffler you choose, to get rid of the buzzing , "ricey" sound .

Buy a large resonator, and put it in after the cat.


They can be found on summitracing.com , ive used both the purple hornies, and a cherry bomb, both worked out well.




That was my old set - up on my cavalier.

is that just a glass pack
if it is idk becouse on my cav with the glass pack it sounds good if ur going normal but sounds horrible when u riv it up and let off
or is the resonator something totally differnt

A glass pack can be used as a resonator, if there is a another muffler .

My set up was like this

Exhaust manifold, downpipe, piping ,catalytic convertor , piping, resonator ( glass pack ), piping ,muffler , and tip.


It smooths out the exhaust tone , and gets rid of the raspyness.

okay so its sounds alot better wen u have a glasspack with a muffler ??
and what kind of muffler should i get

I went with a Maganaflow muffler, and yes it will sound better when you have a glasspack, then a muffler after it.









These are two video, of when i took the maganaflow off and put a fart can on , same piping , the magnaflow was deeper, but you'll get the idea of non raspyness.

okay jersy kid nt to be annoying or anything yea i decicded im gonna get a magna flow but idk wich one to get becouse i dnt like those boxy ones but idk any suggestions

Your not annoying, don't worry about it.


The real question is , what do you like , round muffers? Fartcans?

My 22" Magnaflow res and Street series muffler is so much quieter than the above setups, Im jealous of the sound... Mine is actually too quiet.

yea im more for the round ones. ....

o and by the way what is the size of your magnaflow muffler your old set up or w/e

I had two different maganaflow set - ups , the one i posted above which i think was 6'' by 14'' or the ones in this picture ...







That one was
Magnaflow Part Number : 14832
Double Wall, Straight Cut
2.25" Inlet, 4" Diam. Tip
4" Tip Length
5" x 8" Oval Body
14" Muffler Body Length

okay one last question?
out of the to magnaflows u had wich one did u like the best or would u suggest?

both were equally as good sounding, but i think the look of the last one i posted was much better.

Can't help notice that Jersey's tip is actually smaller inside to a point then flares out sharply. I've always been leary of the megaphone effect of having a radically plus-sized tip or outlet (Too much noise!), but I take it that this design allows for a quieter note, but by how much? And how much louder (or quieter, as the case my be) is it compared to stock?

Go beyond the "bolt-on".

I had a full exhaust at that time, pacesetter header/downpipe, magnaflow high flow cat, cherry bomb resonator , and 2.5'' piping to that muffler. It was louder then stock , but nothing unbearable.

No droning on the highway, no raspyness , just some deep noise when you were on the gas.

That's cool... Beats having it sound like a runaway 2-stroke.

Go beyond the "bolt-on".
